QUESTION: Is fresh summer corn a healthy option?

ANSWER: Fresh summer corn can absolutely be part of a healthy, plant-strong diet. Despite its reputation, corn is a whole grain when eaten off the cob—and it provides fiber, B vitamins, and antioxidants that support eye health.

The key is how it’s prepared. Grilled or steamed corn (without loads of butter, salt, or mayo) is a nutritious, satisfying choice. Skip ultra-processed corn products like chips and sugary cereals, which lack fiber and often contain added oils and preservatives. So go ahead and enjoy that sweet corn while it’s in season—just keep it close to its natural form and aim to find organic whenever possible.

After following the Cleveland Nutrition program, my energy soared, my labs improved, and for the first time in years—I truly feel in control of my health. I had tried so many diets and medications, but nothing worked long-term. This approach was different—it focused on real food, education, and root-cause healing. I not only lost weight but also reversed my prediabetes and got off two medications. It’s been life-changing.

QUESTION: Is it okay to eat more fruit in the summer, or should I watch my sugar intake?

ANSWER: It’s okay to eat more fruit in the summer—especially when it’s whole, fresh, and in season. Whole fruits are packed with fiber, antioxidants, and phytonutrients that support healing, reduce inflammation, and protect against chronic disease. Unlike processed sugars, the natural sugars in fruit are absorbed more slowly thanks to their fiber content, which helps keep your blood sugar stable.

Instead of worrying about sugar in fruit, focus on avoiding refined sugars and ultra-processed foods. Enjoy summer favorites like berries, peaches, and watermelon as part of a balanced, plant-strong plate.

QUESTION: Do you have any tips for staying on track with my diet during summer cookouts and gatherings?ANSWER: Summer celebrations can be challenging, but they’re also a great time to enjoy seasonal foods in a healthy way. I recommend filling your plate with grilled vegetables, fresh salads, and plant-based proteins like beans, lentils, tofu, or veggie burgers. You can still enjoy your favorite dishes—just be mindful of portions and try to balance your plate.Staying hydrated is also key—hot weather and salty snacks can dehydrate you quickly. Tune into your body’s hunger and fullness cues. With a few thoughtful choices, you can enjoy the summer holiday while staying on track with your health goals.

I feel great, clothes fit better (I had to get new pants, which felt terrific) and I am now a healthy eating advocate for everyone in my life. I look back at the old me as someone who was walking in a fog of misinformation and slowly killing myself with processed food and excesses. Now I will move forward with a permanently changed view on food, completely new eating habits, and a renewed sense of taking care of myself for the people in my life who need me around. I recommend this program to anyone and everyone for its overwhelming benefits.
